trial was made near Dresden with r-shaped balloon about sixty feet long, with lifting power of 500 pounds; and the motions of this were under perfect control, even against a moderate wind. A peculiar system of netting gave the car remarkable steadiness.

 SEEKING THE FTTTEsT.-A need of the times is primary battery that shall yield electric light for ordinary homes. This want and the problem of meeting it were considered by MT. P. F. Nursey at late meeting of the British Society of Engineers. De- scribing a few of the chief forms of primary batteries, he mentioned that some of them had given fairly good results in mansions or large establish ments, but that evidence was lacking to show that any could be made cheap and efficient for general domestic lighting. Most of the batteries have special merits, and he recommended submitting them all to a committee of experts, in the hope that the lead- ing features might be combined in a system more satisfactory than could be otherwise secured.
 SYsTEMAT1ZED POLAR ExpLoRA- TON. N.-Considering the variability of drift-ice movement in the Arctic seas. Dr. Carl Petersen, of the Tromso Arctic Museum, urges that the easiest. cheapest and most promising method of seeking the North Pole is to des- patch every year, for ten or eleven years, a certain number of we'll equipped steamers, some one of which would be able to seize upon the most favorable condition of the ice for a dash to the extreme north. Four routes are recommended, viz: one along East Spitzbergen to Franz Josef Land, and northward, starting from the north of Norway; one east of Franz Josef Land, starting from the Yenisei or Obi; one ctd Franz Josef Land, start ing from the New Siberian Islands or the Lena ; and one from a suitable spot in Siberian Strait. With an an- nual expedition by each of these routes, Dr. Petersen believes that the problems of the Polar seas would be solved within the period of eleven years.

 "You try so hard to look like that red gobbler that lll settle with you right here," said Bill, and he lifted up the big rife and took aim, but the lit- tie bird looked so pitiful that he took the gun down. The bird flew away, and Bill went on and shot at rabbit but missed it. When he went to load his gun again he found that he didn't have another bullet, and while he stood thinking about it, with the pain in his breast hurting him all the time, the little red bird flew over and lighted on tree and began to sing, "Put in red grain O corn; put in a red grain O corn."
 "What do you mean?" said Bill, much surprised, for he never had heard bird sing that way before.
 "Put in red grain O corn; put in a red grain O corn," sang the bird.
 The pain in Bills breast got so bad that he turned away to go home. The bird flew away, but before Bill had gone very far the bird flew in front of him and dropped something and sang |:
 "Put in red grain O corn; put in a red grain O corn"
 Bill looked down and saw that the

thing, and was as red as blood, and when he saw Bill looking at him he gobbled so loud that twigs were shaken from the tree, and he winked at Bill and stretched one leg at him. Bill sat down and tried to think, but he couldn't so he put his gun on a log and took good aim at the gobbler's breast, and fired. The red gobbler lifted up both wings and gobbled so loud that Bill began to tremble. Then the gobbler flew away, and all at once Bill felt an awful pain ill his breast. It hurt him so that he rolled on the ground, and then being afraid that he might die out there by him self, he took up his gun and staggered home. When he got home he found his mother and sister both suffering with pains ill their breasts, and he fell down on the floor and rolled. Bill aud his mother and sister rolled and tumbled all night, and the poor woman said "Oh, me, William, didn't you shoot at that red gobbler?" And Bill he said: "Oh, my, what would l wanter do that for?"
 The next day was the day before Christmas, and Bill, after rolling around until late i'll the evening, say ing, "Oh, my ]" and "Ah, mel" got up and took the gun and went out in the woods. It was all he could do to walk, but he pushed ahead, for he thought that if he didn't kill some-

bird had dropped red grain of corn. He picked it up and said: "I will put
 it in my rife just for luck" So he loaded his rife with the red grain of corn and started on home. He had not gone but a short distance further when he heard a noise that made him shake until his teeth chattered, and, looking up in tree, he saw the big red gobbler. The gobbier looked at him and the pain in Bill's breast grew worse. Just then the bird that had
 been following along sang: "Shoot himl shoot himw Bill was scared
 nearly to death, but knowing that he had already been marked by the gob-
 bier for death or something else that was awful, said: "You can't do any more than you are going to do, any
